Jiujiu used the light to sew the last few stitches, tidied up the needle and thread, and put the clothes to the side of the bed before lying down next to Li Zixuan. 1357924?
When Li Zixuan woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiujiu's pink and tender little face. It was like a sweet and lovely apple, making him happy from the bottom of his heart.
Jiujiu's eyelashes were long and curved. Li Zixuan reached out and fiddled with them, but he didn't think that Jiujiu's eyes would tremble and open.
Seeing Li Zixuan, Jiujiu unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his thin and soft lips. Her voice was hoarse from just waking up: "Good morning."
Li Zixuan lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu's eyelids. He softly said: "Good morning."
The two had just arrived in the capital. Li Zixuan had to make friends with the nobles and ministers, and Jiujiu had to be a good wife and take care of the affairs of the house. Naturally, they couldn't continue to sleep in.
After putting on the clothes, seeing that Li Zixuan was about to pass on the robe, Jiujiu quickly handed over the robe she had sewn.
Looking at the fine stitches, the robe was grand and exquisite. Li Zixuan obediently put it on and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. He softly said: "Furen, you are so good."
Jiujiu hugged Li Zixuan's waist and didn't say anything.
The two quietly hugged for a while. After breakfast, Li Zixuan had to go to the palace and Jiujiu had to take care of the housekeeper of the house.
To put it nicely, the housekeeper was the housekeeper of the prince's house. To put it bluntly, he was just a dog servant. Jiujiu had even been the empress before. Although she hadn't personally taken care of affairs, she had the means to take care of the servants.
Now, even a dog servant dared to stand in front of her and act impudently. If she didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't know what year it was.
After Li Zixuan left, Jiujiu directly ordered people to call everyone in the house to the main hall.
Although the housekeeper was a housekeeper, he also came from the palace and was very favored by the head eunuch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given such a lucrative job.
Because the housekeeper had a good relationship with the head eunuch and didn't have a master for many years, it was inevitable that he would be infected with arrogance and think that he was the master.
When he heard Jiu to call everyone in the main hall, he said with a face of reluctance: "Why go through all this trouble?" He looked at Jiu Jiu with undisguised disdain. Jiu Jiu's identity was not a secret. She was just a merchant's daughter. Even if she was married to the eighth prince, she would be divorced sooner or later. Why would he need to respect a woman who would be divorced sooner or later?
Jiujiu didn't even look at the housekeeper's disdainful gaze. She used a handkerchief to wipe her fingers and said: "Slap him."
The housekeeper didn't have time to react and was slapped by An Yi. He flipped over and fell to the ground.
An Yi was the bodyguard Li Zixuan had left by Jiujiu's side. Although he was a bodyguard on the surface, he was actually a hidden guard and had extraordinary skills. His palm moved with the wind. With one slap, the housekeeper, who had been pampered and lived more leisurely than a master, instantly bled from his nose and mouth. The corner of his mouth was even broken by his teeth and blood flowed.
The housekeeper was stunned by An Yi's slap and didn't recover for a long time. When Jiujiu spoke again, he was still a bit confused.
The servants in the residence had already looked down on Jiujiu because of the housekeeper. Now that they saw the originally arrogant and despotic housekeeper being beaten to this state by Jiujiu, the group of people instantly fell silent and didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiujiu stood up and walked towards the housekeeper step by step in her delicate embroidered shoes. Her voice was delicate and pretty as she said: "Housekeeper, do you know why I hit you?"
Even now, the housekeeper was still stubborn. Relying on the head eunuch's support, he braced himself and said: "This servant doesn't know."
"You don't know?" Jiujiu raised her eyebrows and turned to look at An Yi. She snorted: "Since you don't know, then continue hitting."
Receiving the order, An Yi slapped the housekeeper's face again. That sound made Jiujiu's teeth hurt. The housekeeper endured the five slaps and when he couldn't take it anymore, he hastily begged for mercy: "This servant knows his mistake. Please forgive this servant."
The housekeeper begged for mercy again and again, but Jiujiu turned a deaf ear. When the housekeeper was beaten to the point where he was only breathing out more than in, she finally opened her mouth and said lightly: "Stop."
An Yi responded and stopped. She casually threw the housekeeper, who was as limp as a pile of mud, to the ground. Her face was as cold and solemn as a statue. She clearly didn't have any expression, but everyone present couldn't help but feel terrified.
They had all thought that this imperial concubine was born in a family of merchants and was easy to bully, but they had not thought that she was a tough nut to crack. She had beaten the steward who had been in the fu for more than a decade half to death. If she knew what they had done … Thinking of this, everyone shivered in unison.
Jiujiu raised the teacup, flicked the tea leaves, and took a sip. Only then did she raise her head and say lightly: "Is there anyone else who feels that it was inappropriate for me to call you here today?"
Everyone hastily lowered their heads and didn't say anything. Receiving this result, Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction. Only then did she have Qiao Die read out the rules that she had instructed him to prepare yesterday.
Qiao Die recited Jiujiu's rules word by word, and everyone couldn't help but agree.
When Qiao Die finished reading, Jiujiu finally switched her arm and supported her chin with one hand. She said with a smile: "Rules are these rules. What you did before, you can continue to do now. But if I find out that anyone dares to cheat or disrespect their master, this will be their outcome."
Finishing, she swept a glance in the direction of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was beaten to the point of death by An Yi and looked like he was about to die.
Jiujiu had caught the biggest one to make an example out of. Everyone couldn't help but shiver. Even the housekeeper, who had a backer, was almost beaten to death by her. If they didn't have a backer, wouldn't she casually kill them?
Everyone no longer had any thoughts of resistance towards Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was naturally very satisfied with this result.
Li Zixuan's appearance was handsome, his temperament was outstanding, and his speech was extraordinary. Even though he was only a prince without a title, because of his outstanding poetry, he was highly valued by the emperor. Even though he had only been in the capital for half a month, everyone was familiar with him. There were even people who specially went to pay him a visit.
And those officials who didn't have a good opinion of the crown prince began to befriend Li Zixuan. However, because it was too obvious for an official to personally make a move, it was hard to avoid revealing their traces. Thus, they first sent their wives to probe.
Jiujiu's thoughts were clear. Not to mention, she wholeheartedly wanted to help Li Zixuan. Naturally, she racked her brains to befriend the wives of the officials.
As the saying goes, a thousand words of reason couldn't compare to a pillow talk.
Pillow talk, pillow talk, wasn't this saying referring to the wives of the officials?
